Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following detailed description. It should be understood that the description is intended to be exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention.
Zirconium alloys are an important structural material in nuclear power reactors. Corrosion of zirconium alloy materials is a very significant problem during operation and maintenance of nuclear reactors: on one hand, it affects the normal operation of the reactor, causing unplanned shutdown and huge economic loss; on the other hand, corrosion of the zirconium alloy cladding and corrosion damage of the primary circuit pressure boundary material will cause radioactive leakage, possibly endangering personal safety and even causing serious accidents.
Corrosion of zirconium alloys is generally expressed in terms of oxidation weight gain. Under the condition of certain components and processes, the oxidation weight gain speed of the zirconium alloy product is closely related to the corrosion temperature, and generally, the oxidation weight gain speed is accelerated along with the temperature rise.
410 c is the starting temperature for the homogeneous corrosion test with a significant accelerating effect. The operating experience of nuclear power plants shows that, in addition to homogeneous corrosion of the zirconium alloy cladding, a local corrosion, i.e. a nodular corrosion, also occurs. When the temperature is too high, the corrosion mechanism is changed from a uniform corrosion mechanism to a furuncle-shaped corrosion mechanism, the temperature of 430 ℃ is the critical temperature for changing the uniform corrosion mechanism to the furuncle-shaped corrosion mechanism, and the temperature of 500 ℃ is the temperature of the furuncle-shaped corrosion. The furuncle-shaped corrosion is uneven corrosion, a formed oxide film is loose and easy to fall off, and the early damage and the failure of the cladding can be seriously caused, so the furuncle-shaped corrosion becomes a key factor influencing the service life of the fuel element of the nuclear reactor.
The steps of this embodiment are as follows:
step one, setting at least one group of test groups, wherein each test group comprises a first group, the first group is a plurality of zirconium alloys with the same manufacturing process and the same grade, and corrosion tests are respectively carried out corresponding to different preset temperatures; wherein the test groups were performed prior to the experiment.
Further, a group of experiment groups is arranged, wherein the group comprises a first group, the first group is provided with 30 test samples, the first group of test samples adopts Zr-4 alloy pipes with the outer diameter phi of 9.5mm, the test equipment used for the test comprises a high-pressure reaction kettle, three high-pressure reaction kettles are arranged, the actual +/-3 ℃ temperature difference of the high-pressure reaction kettles is considered, under the condition that the pressure conditions of 10.3MPa in the high-pressure reaction kettles are kept consistent, the preset temperature is sequentially set to be 410 ℃, 420 ℃ and 427 ℃ within the range of 400 plus-minus-plus-pressure 430 ℃, and the corrosion test is carried out in 10 test samples arranged in each reaction kettle. It should be noted that the test sample is treated with the configured acid solution before the test, the acid solution is 5% hydrofluoric acid, 37% nitric acid and 58% water by volume ratio, the time is controlled at 220-.
Step two, intermittently measuring the weight of the test group to obtain weight data, and repeating the step two when the weight data is smaller than a preset standard weight data; when the weight gain data is greater than or equal to the standard weight gain data, terminating the corresponding test group test; step three, repeating the step two until the test of all test groups is terminated;
further, according to the actual test situation, the weight gain of the test sample is measured discontinuously, and it should be noted that the preset standard weight gain adopts: setting 10 Zr-4 alloy pipes with the outer diameter of phi 9.5mm, carrying out uniform corrosion tests for 300 days in a high-pressure reaction kettle pressure with the pressure of 10.3MPa and the temperature of 400 ℃, respectively carrying out corrosion weight gain measurement for 100 days, 200 days and 300 days in the corrosion tests, sequentially recording obtained data, and setting the weight gain data of the 300 th day as preset standard weight gain.
And when the weight gain data is smaller than the preset standard weight gain, the measurement is continuously carried out until the weight gain data is larger than or equal to the preset standard weight gain.
FIG. 1 is a graph of weight gain comparison trend of Zr-4 alloy pipes provided by the invention under different corrosion conditions.
As shown in FIG. 1, weight gain data of the Zr-4 alloy pipe test sample at different corrosion temperatures has small fluctuation, and the change comparison rule is as follows:
the corrosion speed is fastest when the preset temperature is 427 ℃, the weight gain data of a test sample of 30 days is equivalent to the standard weight gain data of 100 days when the temperature is 400 ℃, the weight gain of 220 days when the temperature is 400 ℃ is achieved after 72 days, and the weight gain data of 100 days is slightly higher than the preset standard weight gain data of 300 days when the temperature is 400 ℃. When the preset temperature is 427 ℃, the acceleration of the weight gain data of the test sample in three stages is kept about 3 times of the standard weight gain data.
When the preset temperature is 420 ℃, the corrosion speed is fastest, the weight gain data of a test sample of 42 days is equivalent to the standard weight gain data of 100 days at 400 ℃, the weight gain of 220 days at 400 ℃ is achieved at 96 days, and the weight gain data of 126 days is basically consistent with the preset standard weight gain data of 300 days at 400 ℃. When the preset temperature is 420 ℃, the acceleration of the weight gain data of the test sample in three stages is kept about 2.4 times of the standard weight gain data.
When the preset temperature is 410 ℃, the weight gain data of the test sample of 60 days is equivalent to the standard weight gain data of 100 days at 400 ℃, the weight gain of 220 days at 400 ℃ is achieved at 130 days, and the weight gain data of 180 days is basically consistent with the preset standard weight gain data of 300 days at 400 ℃. When the preset temperature is 420 ℃, the acceleration of the weight gain data of the test sample in three stages is kept about 1.7 times of the standard weight gain data.
The first set of experiments was terminated at 130 days.
And step four, detecting the corrosion condition of each test group, and acquiring the preset temperature corresponding to the test group with the highest weight gain speed when the corrosion is uniform corrosion.
FIG. 2 is a comparison of the appearance of samples of Zr-4 alloy tubes after different periods of corrosion at 400 deg.C, 420 deg.C and 427 deg.C. Since the change in appearance at 410 ℃ is not visually different from that at 400 ℃ in the control group, the 410 ℃ appearance and data comparison can be omitted. Wherein:
(a) appearance at 400 ℃ day 100; (b) appearance at 400 ℃ day 200; (c) appearance at 400 ℃ day 300; (d) appearance at 420 ℃ day 42; (e) appearance at 420 ℃ day 96; (f) appearance at 420 ℃ day 126; (g) the appearance at 427 ℃ on day 30; (h) the appearance at 427 ℃ on day 72; (i) the appearance at 427 ℃ on day 100.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, at 400 ℃ and 420 ℃ of the Zr-4 alloy pipe sample, the colors of the outer surfaces of the pipes corresponding to different periods are black and bright. When the temperature is increased to 427 ℃ and the corrosion test is carried out for 30 days, the external surface of the comparative sample begins to appear a tiny bubble point similar to a boil corrosion surface at 500 ℃ at 427 ℃. The bubble point size increased continuously by the time the corrosion test was continued for 72 days and 100 days. The actual corrosion mechanism at this temperature is presumed to be mainly a nodular corrosion mechanism.
To accurately determine whether the fine bubble point on the outer surface of the sample at 427 ℃ for 30 days is consistent with the boil-like corrosion bubble point at 500 ℃. Sampling and comparing the two types of microscopic morphologies of the corrosion spots.
FIG. 3 is a comparison graph of bubble point shapes on the surface of samples of Zr-4 alloy pipes provided by the invention under different corrosion conditions. Wherein: (j) spots on day 30 at 427 ℃; (k) spots were obtained at a temperature of 500 ℃ for 8 hours.
As shown in FIG. 3, both spots are prism-shaped, and the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis is close to 1.0, which is completely different from the appearance of the uniform oxide film on the surface of the uniformly corroded zirconium alloy sample.
Thus, the temperature is increased from 400 ℃ to 420 ℃, the zirconium alloy corrosion mechanism is still predominantly homogeneous corrosion, but after a further increase of 7 ℃ to 427 ℃, a nodular corrosion mechanism has played a dominant role therein.

Figure BDA0001997942830000071
Table 1 lists the oxide film thicknesses of the zirconium alloy samples after different periods of corrosion at 400 deg.C, 420 deg.C and 427 deg.C. Under the temperature of 400 ℃, the thickness of an oxide film on the outer surface of a zirconium alloy sample is gradually increased along with the prolonging of a corrosion period, and the circumferential distribution is uniform; the thickness of the zirconium alloy sample is basically equivalent to the thickness of the zirconium alloy sample oxide film at 400 ℃ and 100 days in a corrosion test at 420 ℃, the thickness of the zirconium alloy sample oxide film is consistent with the thickness of the zirconium alloy sample oxide film at 400 ℃ and 220 days in 96 days, and the corresponding temperature is 400 ℃ and 300 days in 126 days; the oxide film thickness of the zirconium alloy samples was greater for 30 days, 72 days, and 100 days when tested at 427 ℃ for corrosion than for the corresponding zirconium alloys tested at 400 ℃ for 100 days, 220 days, and 300 days.
In conclusion, when the temperature is set to be 427 ℃, the actual corrosion mechanism is mainly a furuncle-shaped corrosion mechanism, and a corrosion test at the temperature of 427 ℃ is eliminated; the preset temperature corresponding to the test group with the highest weight gain speed is 420 ℃, namely the temperature suitable for accelerating the uniform corrosion of the zirconium alloy material is 420 ℃.
In the second embodiment, in order to verify that zirconium alloy products of different manufacturing processes and the same grade are still suitable for the accelerated corrosion test at 420 ℃. A second set of samples was set, using 10 Zr-4 alloy bar products with a diameter of 22mm and 10 Zr-4 alloy sheet products with a thickness of 1mm, and the test procedure was repeated in sequence. The method comprises the steps of arranging two zirconium alloy samples with different manufacturing processes in two corresponding high-pressure reaction kettles, carrying out uniform corrosion tests with preset temperature of 420 ℃ and pressure of 10.3MPa, carrying out weight gain measurement discontinuously, and recording obtained weight gain data sequentially. And comparing the weight gain data with a second preset standard weight gain corresponding to the weight gain data.
Second predetermined standard weight gain: setting 10 Zr-4 alloy bar products with the outer diameter of phi 22mm and 10 Zr-4 alloy plate products with the thickness of 1mm, carrying out uniform corrosion tests for 300 days in a high-pressure reaction kettle pressure with the pressure set to 10.3MPa and the temperature set to 400 ℃, respectively carrying out corrosion weight gain measurement for 100 days, 120 days, 220 days, 250 days and/or 300 days in the corrosion tests, sequentially recording obtained data, and finally respectively setting the weight gain data of the 300 th day as a second preset standard weight gain.

Figure BDA0001997942830000081
As shown in Table 2, when the Zr-4 alloy bar product with the diameter of phi 22mm is adopted, the weight gain data of 42 days is equivalent to the corresponding weight gain data of 400 ℃ and 100 days at the temperature of 420 ℃, the weight gain data of 400 ℃ and 220 days is achieved at 96 days, and the weight gain data after 126 days is basically consistent with the weight gain data of the second standard preset standard with the temperature of 400 ℃ and 300 days. The accelerated corrosion effect of the Zr-4 alloy bar product at the temperature of 420 ℃ is basically consistent with that of the tube, and is about 2.4 times of that of the tube at the temperature of 400 ℃ in the same period;
by adopting a Zr-4 alloy plate product with the thickness of 1mm, when the temperature is 420 ℃, the weight gain data of 60 days is equivalent to the corresponding weight gain data of 120 days at the temperature of 400 ℃, the weight gain data of 250 days at the temperature of 400 ℃ is reached after 126 days, and the weight gain data after 150 days is basically consistent with the weight gain data of the second standard preset standard at the temperature of 400 ℃ for 300 days. The accelerated corrosion effect of the Zr-4 alloy plate at 420 ℃ is basically consistent with that of the tube, but the accelerated corrosion effect is obviously reduced by about 2 times when the temperature is 420 ℃ compared with 400 ℃.
The second set of tests was terminated on day 150.
In conclusion, the temperature suitable for the accelerated corrosion test of the zirconium alloy products with different manufacturing processes and the same grade is still 420 ℃.

And comparing the weight gain data with third preset standard weight gain data corresponding to the grade.

In order to more accurately obtain the weight gain data and the relationship between the weight gain data and the time, the number of test days is increased by 10 days on the basis of 300 days.
